I used to be pro death penalty. These types of cases, the incrreasing number of thugcops, and some really bad prosecutions have changed my mind a bit. Still for it, but believe the standard should be “beyond an unreasonable doubt.”

I'm not a fan of the death penalty -- mainly because: (1) it's irreversible, and (2) I've learned that lawyers, prosecutors and judges are among the most mediocre professionals you'll ever meet.

Of course, I also believe that a nation that elects people like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to public office has no business even putting people in jail, let alone executing them. But that's for another thread ...

For death penalty cases the standard needs to be ‘beyond any doubt whatsoever’.
